-DOOF--SECUHEFL SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application-filed October v7, 1903.

Beit lnown that I, FREDERICK E. XVIBSRR, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at 'idrashi-ngton, in the District of Columbia,-ha\-'e made certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Securers, of which the following is a specification. l v My invention isan improvement in doorsecurers, and has for an object to provide a simple novelconstruction which will be etticient for use, can be ,easily applied, and can be readily folded when not in 4use into compact form for carrying in the pocket; and the invention consists in certain novel const-ructions and combinations of parts, .as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In lthe drawings, Figure l is a perspective view 0f a portion of a door and door-jamb with 'my invention applied and the door secured thereby. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the securer with the twosections detached. Fig. ,3 is aV perspective view .showing the position of parts when the securer is applied to the doordjamb after the door has been opened. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the securer with the sections folded, and Fig'. 5 is a detail'cro'ss-section on about line 5 of Fig. l. My door-securer consists, as shown, of two sections A and B. These sectionsniav for convenience of reference be termed, respectively, the jaw-section and the stop-section and are of special constructions. as will be described in detail. It will be noticed from Fig. L that the two sections A and B are permanen'tly'connected and yet can be folded to the positionv shown in Fig. 4 for cari-ving in th`e pocket or tothe position shown in Figs. l and for securing the door. rlhe section A is provided at one endwith the teeth a, con` stituting the jaw, and has the detiected portion C between its ends, such. portion G connectl ing the front and rear wings A and A2 and having an opening C',witliin which the section B operates and is held in the use of the invention. It will be noticed from Fig. that the i Wings Af and A2 are parallel with each other and thatthe deflected portion C extends from the plane of the wing in thesanie direction as ythe teeth a, so that in thc folded position of the parts, as shown in Fig. 1i, the section B will Patent No. 754,267, dated March 8, 1904.

This section B is provided at. one end with the stoppin B' and at itsotherelul with the hook Bf, the latter engaging the end of the wing A' in the folded positionI of the parts, as shown in Fig. 4E of the drawings.

1n use the device ina)v be applied to lthe dooriamb1,as shown in Fig. 3, with the suction B adjusted so that itsvl hook B'lis stopped by the wing A/ of the section A, and the door Zmay'then be closed, as shown in Fig. l. and

ing a stop to preventthe opening of the door tothe position shown in Fig. 3. When the device 1s notln use. th(` section 'can he folded B2 will secui'c the sectionsl together in conipact forni. as desired. A

rIl he device is simple. can be' inexpensively inade, easily applied. and will be found etlicicnt in use. l

.The piu or proiectiou B' may be punched up or otherwiseprovided, and thel hook B2 vided, if preferred. In Fig'. 2 I show the edges of the vplates B and`( rounded, while they are shown angular in some of the other figures. In Fig. thi` end of the'plate B adjacent to the pin B is turned upl slightlvto facilitate the sliding of said plate along the door-jainb. As shown in Fig. i, the turnedup -end of the plate B extends in the folded to the ends of the teeth l, Athus guarding s aid 'teeth and operating to prevent the saine from tearing the pocket in carrying the device.

Having thus described niy invention. what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is A- l. The improved door-securer herein described consisting of the jaw-section A-having the jaw r/ at one end and provided between its ends with the deflected portion C having an until the stopsection B has been readiustcd may be struck up out of the platt` B. as shown4 in Fig. 2, or said hook may lwfotherwise proposition of the parts out to a point adjacentr Cio` ingclosing the 'door will force the teeth l into to the position shown in Fig. i. and the` hook lOO small-T opening C' for the stopsection and' forming the innei and outer wings on oppositeidee of said deflected portion and the stop-Section operating in the opening of said" defle'etedportion and provided at oneend With-:t stoppprojeotion and at its other'en yvi'th i' hook;l
